Does anyone know, anecdotally or otherwise...
What is the high achievement range for a master's swimmer who only started swimming in their early 30's, or late 20's... something like that.
How far were they able to go (I don't mean the distance), but achievement wise...
Anyone competing at top masters levels that hasn't been a competetive swimmer as a kid?
I'd like to hear their stories.

I'm yet to get in a good enough condition to keep the form I thing I should be keeping past the warmup.
There can be a real tendency for (competitive) swimmers to get slopy with the stroke, if it means getting more yards in practice. (Personally, I'm thinking of butterfly...) You need to stay with technique. You don't want to train your body to swim incorrectly, especially if you are new to the game.
